The new NASCAR season is here. So many things have changed since last season, including which drivers will be driving on certain teams, new rookies on the scene, and long-time drivers who are not racing this season at all. Fans are still getting used to the new racing formats (and still arguing about them). Like it or hate it, anticipating it or dreading it, the new season and all it will bring is here.

It is a neurological disorder characterized by 'tics'. These are involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way.

Tics come and go, wax and wane. Onset of tics is usually between 7-9 years of age, and may or may not last a lifetime.
